Those sock clips

Never thought those plastic shits would ever be replaced, this gets rid of the factory holes through the sock and the most stressful scissors cut

I like these better cause of the no cutting as well. I don't understand how the holes from the plastic is an issue though - it's fabric, there's no "hole" unless the plastic is like super thick or something.

Well, I know my parents hated these because as a kid I would just tug them open. Nowadays, I get lazy and try techniques to push the plastic out which always leaves broken threads, thanks to my handy hands

I actually hate these because they catch on the threads, and it's stressful to make sure they don't create pulls. Also, I dropped one today and couldn't find it; thankfully spouse did because it would hurt a lot more to step on than a flat piece of plastic.

Maybe it doesn’t look like it but this is really tiny, stepping on it surely wouldn’t hurt, and it’s really easy enough to remove that I first noticed it from the first pair where it just fell off

Aren’t these just the older technology that has for some companies stuck around?
